1. A soil profile is shown in the figure. A uniformly distributed load of 75kPa is applied at the ground surface. The clay is normally consolidated. Compute the compression index Compute the primary consilidation settlement
A soil profile is shown in Figure.Plot the variation of:
The soil profile at a site consists of a 2.0 m thick sand layerat the top, underlain by a 3.0 m thick clay layer. The watertable lies at a depth of 1.0 m below the ground level. Thebulk and saturated unit weights of the sand are 16.0 kN/m3and 19.0 kN/m3, respectively. The properties of the clay are:water content = 45.0%, specific gravity of the soil grains =2.70, compression index = 0.65, swelling index = 0.08, andoverconsolidation ratio = 1.5.a. The ground level is raised by placing a 1.5 m high compactedfill with unit weight of 20.0 kN/m3. What is theconsolidation settlement?b.

A soil has the following profile with depth (sand layer over clay layer): z = 0-5 ft, Yt= 110 pcf; z = 5-40 ft, Y = 119 pcf. The water table is at a depth of 5 ft. Note: for sand layer (0-5 ft), w = 5.5%, G, = 2.65; K, = 0.30; for clay layer (5-40 ft), PI = 42%, S = 100%; K. = 0.67.
